Kristy asked where I was so I thought I would say HEY!!!  Let's see, where am I at now.  Today marked 7 weeks out.  You guys and gals all said to buckle up for a wild ride, but I would have never imagined this!  I went to solid foods last week and all my transitions have gone really well.  Most foods are going reallty well including most meats and other things that are tough for some.  Only had a challenge with some dry meat once and my tummy said, Um NO! 

I am down to 334 which means 49 lbs since surgery and 75 since the middle of May.  In my job, I get to go to a different location every day and I see these people about every three months.  I get such surprised reactions.  I definitely love the compliments.  

I am so glad that I found these boards and the coffees that I have attended.  The support I have received has meant so much to me.  Thanks to everyone for that.  

I have to say, I have weighed what I weigh right now before.  Actually many times in my attempts to lose and then gain weight.  When I get below 300 will be uncharted territory for most of my adult life.  I know that I am having wow moments now, but will be interested to see what under 300 feels like.  One day at a time!

Holy crap, 334! You're going to weigh less than me in like a week or so. Yeah for you! 75lbs is such an accomplishment. I hope you figure out a GRAND way to celebrate when you get under 300, besides that will mean over 100LBS lost, right? You're doing so good, very inspirational.

Good for you!!!  You are really doing well, keep up the good work

How many pant sizes have you dropped?  Isn' t that fantastic???  Savers carries men's clothes, too, so don't go wearing baggy pants - show off that new body!
